Qué decimos cuando llamamos a alguien viejo? Es una descripción, una muestra de cariño, una forma de discriminación o todo depende de quién lo diga, cómo y dónde?
En Hablemos de viejos y viejas..., Francisco Mendoza Diez se adentra en una dimensión de la vejez que suele pasar inadvertida: las palabras que utilizamos para nombrarla.
En Hablemos de viejos y viejas..., Francisco Mendoza Diez se adentra en una dimensión de la vejez que suele pasar inadvertida: las palabras que utilizamos para nombrarla.
Desde la etnolingüÃstica y con una mirada profundamente vinculada a la realidad mexicana, el autor explora expresiones, denominaciones y formas de hablar acerca de las personas mayores. El lenguaje cotidiano, los discursos institucionales, la literatura, la investigación social y los datos sobre envejecimiento se encuentran en estas páginas para revelar que las palabras no solamente describen la realidad: también expresan valores, prejuicios, afectos y relaciones sociales.
La obra aborda el envejecimiento desde distintas dimensiones y analiza cómo términos aparentemente inocentes pueden adquirir sentidos afectuosos, respetuosos, irónicos, despectivos o discriminatorios dependiendo de su contexto. Precisamente, el libro sostiene que muchas de estas denominaciones adquieren su significado a partir de la situación en la que son utilizadas.
Con una extensa sección lexicográfica y un importante respaldo documental y estadÃstico, este libro invita a cuestionar estereotipos, revisar nuestras propias formas de expresión y pensar la vejez desde una perspectiva cultural más amplia.
Una obra para quienes estudian el envejecimiento, la gerontologÃa, la antropologÃa, la lingüÃstica y las ciencias sociales, pero también para cualquier lector interesado en comprender cómo el lenguaje moldea nuestra percepción de una etapa de la vida que, tarde o temprano, nos concierne a todos.
